Journalism was looked upon as a more noble thing than it is now. I don't know if it carries the same cachet that it did then.

I've always looked upon politics as a very boring thing. Politics never interested me as much as the people involved in it.

I don't think there's more than half-a-dozen cartoons that I've been really truly happy with in all the time I've been doing it.

The fact that we're protected under that Constitution in exercising the right of free speech, it's a wonderful thing. You've got to come from somewhere else to realize how valuable it is.

So many cartoonists draw the same year after year. When they find a style, they stick with it. They don't mess with innovation, and they become boring.

If it were not for the fact that editors have become so timorous in these politically correct times, I would probably have a greater readership than I have.
